Greetings! Hope this finds you and your tribe well, prosperous, and prepared for what comes next.
The Last Quarter 2023 training schedule is in the works and we’re hoping to get six classes in. The dates below are tentative. We’ll lock them in and advise ASAP.
- SEP 2023 LADIES ONLY BASIC AR15 (BAR)
BAR is a ‘grant class’. The class is free plus we provide the ammunition. We also have loaner AR15’s for students that don’t already own one. Seats are limited and first come, first served.
- SEP 2023 DEFENSIVE CARBINE 1 (DC1)
- OCT 2023 DEFENSIVE HANDGUN 1 (DH1)
DH1 is a ‘grant class’. Day 1 of the class is free plus we provide the ammunition.
- NOV 2023 DEFENSIVE CARBINE 2 (DC2)
- DEC 2023 DEFENSIVE SHOTGUN 1 (DS1)
- JAN 2024 URBAN BREAK-CONTACT (UBC)
Details can be found at the Paladin Training Course page.
RAFFLE!
We’re going to raffle off a custom light weight AR15. This is still very much in the planning stage, so ticket cost, ticket number, cut-off date, etc are still TBD. The specs, however, are locked in. I’m looking at the following parts sitting on the floor next to my desk that will be delivered soon to Jamie Ogburn at Ogburn Combat Development (http://www.ogburnrifles.com/) for assembly:
- PSA upper with nitride mid-length 16″ pencil barrel
- Bravo Company light weight 13″ handguard

- Toolcraft bolt carrier

- JP Enterprises enhanced bolt assembly

- PSA lower
- Bravo Company MK 2 receiver extension and buffer assy

- Geissele SSA two-stage trigger

- Geissele Ambi charging handle

All the upgrades above are to increase reliability and durability, reduce recoil or save weight. The finished gun should weigh in at just under 6 pounds. The parts total right at $1500. Updates on the schedule and raffle will be published regularly.
